The restraints aren't very nice if you're a bit bigger... There is a big boy seat on row five tho. Other than that, complete package coaster that is all sorts of awesome, from the theming in the area and the queue to the amazing layout. Best B&M Invert I've ridden so far and best coaster at Parc Asterix (yes, it beats Toutatis for me).

Front row, worst experience I ever had on a roller coaster. I can normally appreciate a good old Vekoma looper, even when they are a bit rickety, but this one was just pure torture. Maybe it was extra...

Front row, worst experience I ever had on a roller coaster. I can normally appreciate a good old Vekoma looper, even when they are a bit rickety, but this one was just pure torture. Maybe it was extra uncomfortable because it was really hot when I rode it (31 degrees Celcius) and maybe I'm just a bit too tall and fat to fit the restraints, but man... This was not a roller coaster ride, this was a chiropractor session gone horribly wrong. The much talked about head rest was halfway down my shoulders en nowhere near my neck. I get that some people might be nostalgic about this monstrosity and it looks really good off-ride... but this needs either a full retrack like Efteling did, some proper new trains or it needs to go. Got the cred, will never ride again.

I was a bit hesitant to ride this coaster because of the bad rep it has got since the re-imagining. I never rode the original so I can't compare, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The rides I had (...

I was a bit hesitant to ride this coaster because of the bad rep it has got since the re-imagining. I never rode the original so I can't compare, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The rides I had (rows 10, 12 and 14) were all completely unhinged and I loved every insane second of it. Sure it's a bit jolty in places, but it's nowhere near as bad as Bandit, Loup Garou or even Mammut at Tripsdrill. It was 31 degrees Celsius when I rode it, the train was flying through the layout so fast I doubt the wheels were even touching the track. I'm a tall and somewhat fat guy and the Timberliner trains fit me like a glove. No discomfort what so ever. Awesome coaster.

This my kind of coaster. Lap bars, punchy launches, nice pops of airtime and some very good hangtime on the backwards launch and the dive loop. Nothing too intense but some very nice forces. Perfect f...

This my kind of coaster. Lap bars, punchy launches, nice pops of airtime and some very good hangtime on the backwards launch and the dive loop. Nothing too intense but some very nice forces. Perfect family thrill ride. It does have a little bit of a rattle. Row 4 is the place to be for the best airtime and a bit less rattle than in the last row. Operations were terrible. Took minutes to get a new train out. Some of the restraints are sensitive and need to be closed further than others, so beware if you're a bit bigger. You'll be stapled in or asked to switch to a seat with less sensitive restraints.

I was in soooo much pain on this ride. Never experienced anything like it. During the many airtime moments the lap bar dug so deep into my legs it felt like they would get chopped off. Rode it twice, ...

I was in soooo much pain on this ride. Never experienced anything like it. During the many airtime moments the lap bar dug so deep into my legs it felt like they would get chopped off. Rode it twice, once in the front, once in the back, was literally bruised for days afterwards. The airtime on there is insane, but it's a torture device in my book.

The only coaster besides Ride to Happiness so far that has actually made me sick to the point of almost vomiting. My day was ruined after the first ride, since I did not recover. Will never ride this ...

The only coaster besides Ride to Happiness so far that has actually made me sick to the point of almost vomiting. My day was ruined after the first ride, since I did not recover. Will never ride this torture device again.

The only coaster besides F.L.Y. so far that has actually made me sick to the point of almost vomiting. This ride is really not for me. First time was intense but I was kind of ok, second time I came of looking green after some intense spinning. My day was ruined after that, since I did not recover. Will never ride this torture device again.

I'm not the biggest fan of B&M inverts, since I find they often are a bit too intense for me. I have found by now that I should ride them in the middle rows, not the front or back, and I'm fine. That being said, I loved Nemesis Inferno. The only B&M invert I rode multiple times during a themepark visit and didn't grey out on. Theming is good, inversions are good and forceful without being too intense. Not as smooth as nother B&M's and the non big boy seats were a bit tight in the restraints for me. Overall: solid coaster.
